Finishing with six batted passes in 2017, Autry was tied for the fourth-most in the league with Cleveland Browns defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, per Pro Football Focus.

It might not seem like that big of a stat but batted passes can have an impact on the game and the Colts were able to get one of the top guys in the league in that area.

Of course, they are hoping Autry can excel more in crashing the backfield and sacking the quarterback on a consistent basis but given the state of the defensive line in recent seasons, they will take all the help they can get.

It remains to be seen what role the Colts see Autry best in but there is a chance he holds a solid spot in a defensive line that is expected to use a heavy rotation throughout games.
